“Why don’t I explain?” Xavier Pascal pulled Jenna into his arms, locking eyes with Quinn. “My name is Xavier Pascal, Jen’s beloved.”Quinn narrowed his eyes and the aura surrounding him got even heavier.Meanwhile, in the car by the roadside, Sam, who had heard everything, was dumbfounded.He even shuffled closer to the passenger’s side to watch the scene from the rearview mirror and was pretty puzzled to see the young man with his arm around Jenna.How come he had never seen this man before?Xavier played with Jenna’s long hair as he smiled. “Although I’ve just arrived in Hevedburgh, Jen told me all about your relationship with her. Thank you for taking care of her for so long, President Forester. If you need anything in the future, just say the word.“This is my name card.” With his other hand, Xavier took out a name card from his coat pocket and handed it to Quinn.It was a very simple gold-stamped business card.On it was written “Hibiscus Studios” and the company’s logo wa
Quinn’s heart had only fluttered once in the past year when his car passed by the church, and he ran into Jenna. Her bright smile had left a deep impression on him.How many times had he dreamt of that face, wanting to keep her by his side to keep his lonely self company?However, that girl did not belong to him, after all.She was young, brilliant as a sunrise, and deserved better, while he was no longer young and had not given her any good memories.-Jenna stood there, watching the Maybach slowly vanish from her sight as her heart throbbed with sadness.The hand Xavier had around Jenna’s shoulders slid down to take her hand and pull it into his own coat pocket. “Let’s go, Jen.”“Why don’t we do it some other day?” Jenna said, struggling, “I just got divorced…”“It’s got to be today.” Xavier brushed her hair away from her face, indescribable tenderness and madness in his gaze, which gave Jenna the creeps, although his voice was a pleasant low tone.“The Civil Affairs Bureau
Jenna immediately put down her pen and said to Xavier, “Then we’ll go get the residence permit done and come back another day.”She picked up her documents and her bag, then got up first.Xavier knew it was not possible to get it done today and could only give up. He put away his identification documents and led Jenna by the hand out of the Civil Affairs Bureau.The two had just exited when they were immediately surrounded by the reporters who had been waiting outside.The lights of the cameras flashed non-stop at Jenna.“Mrs. Forester, why are you at the Civil Affairs Bureau with another man? Have you divorced President Forester?”“Please tell us about it.”Xavier waved away the microphone shoved up against Jenna’s face and held her in his arms. “Yes, Jenna has divorced Quinn Forester. We went into the Civil Affairs Bureau earlier to register our marriage.”When the reporters heard that, they immediately turned their cameras to Xavier.One of the reporters recognized Xavier a
Jenna hung a morose look in her eyes and stayed quiet. “Jenna, not only am I a selfish person, I’m also very vengeful.” Xavier spoke softly, “Since you agreed to marry me, I will never let you get away ever again. You belong to me and only me.” Jenna shut her eyes and waited until her emotions passed over and calmed down. She grabbed onto Xavier's sweater and said defiantly, “Xavier, you better remember what I told you in the cafe the other day. If you say or do something to me, I will never forgive you!” “Don't worry.” Xavier smirked and said gently, “I’m a man of my word, especially when it comes to my wife.” Jenna frowned and released her grip before returning to her seat. “Jen.” Xavier slung her arm above the seat and proposed, “Let’s hold a wedding next February at Saint Wes Church. How does that sound?” “It’s up to you!” “Thank you.” He smiled radiantly and gently. Then, he tucked on Jenna’s seatbelt for her. “Let’s go to The Smokestack. They serve pretty
Around six in the evening, after seeing Xavier off. As soon as Jenna turned on her phone, she saw the trending news and discussions about her divorce from Quinn as well as Xavier's interview. Most people tend to judge someone by their appearance. Certainly, there were very few men who could make long hair look as good as Xavier did. His dashing looks of classical antiquity immediately helped him gain favor with most people. Most of the highlighted posts were of the people urging Xavier to make his debut as soon as possible. Furthermore, some netizens went to extremes. They hurled all kinds of obscenities at Jenna, claiming she did not deserve to be with Xavier. Upon reading these comments, she thought to herself that she would never forgive them if they somehow turned Xavier against her. A thought suddenly came to her. She immediately got into contact with several media outlets. She told them to continue highlighting Xavier’s otherworldly good looks while slanderin
Jenna poured a vitamin B pill from a bottle before swallowing it. As she walked out of the hospital, she unexpectedly met a Maybach parked at the entrance. Quinn was standing next to the car, wearing a large black coat. His shoulders were broad, his legs tall and slender. He looked every bit like a true gentleman. He was in the middle of a conversation with a middle-aged man in a white coat. Soon, he handed several boxes of gifts to the doctor before the two shook hands. Jenna suddenly broke out into a cold sweat. She was not expecting to stumble into Quinn. She hurriedly tucked the bottle of pills and the medical report into her bag before she turned around. She wanted to retreat into the hospital and hide there for the moment. That was when the perceptive Sam noticed her and called, “Miss Jenna.” With that, Jenna turned around and stiffly smiled at Sam. Then, she slowly proceeded down the stairs and went toward them. When the doctor noticed Jenna approaching them
Jenna turned to look and noticed that it was the dual-faced octopus doll she won in the amusement park last time. Presently, the octopus happened to be turned to its grumpy side and was glaring in her direction. She made a look and stated, “I have enough plushies at my place. I don’t need this one.” Quinn did not respond. After Jenna had divided her belongings into four separate bags, he followed her down the stairs. The housemaids had already laid out lunch across the table. When she noticed the two coming downstairs, she asked cautiously, “Miss Jenna, would you like to stay for lunch?” Jenna had been suffering from morning sickness during this period. She would throw up everything she ate before she even had time to digest them. The housemaid had prepared four different dishes paired with a soup. Even from a distance, Jenna could smell the sweet and sour taste of the braised pork ribs, immediately whetting her appetite. She hesitated to refuse the offer. Then, sh
Quinn was silent. He had cooked a couple of meals for Jenna in the past and understood that she was a very picky eater. She would eat all of her favorite dishes at the table and hardly even spare a glance at the ones she did not like. His fork, which was midway through jabbing a piece of pork rib, suddenly stopped. Then, he picked another dish instead. Jenna eased her frown. After the two finished eating, the housemaid brought a dessert to them. After finishing the braised pork ribs, Jenna was full and satisfied with her meal. When dessert was served, she finished a slice very quickly. When she went to the pantry, she approached the housemaid and whispered to her. “I’ve been having issues with my stomach lately and heard that the cure is to eat sour food. Could I have some of those sour plums you mentioned?” “Sure.” The housemaid returned to the kitchen and produced a bag of sour plums from the cabinet to hand to Jenna. Jenna grabbed two bills from her pocket an
